Three Years

Last week Billy and I celebrated our third anniversary, and that night he cooked me a lovely dinner.  He doesn’t often spend time in the kitchen, so a delicious dinner at home {that I  didn’t have to think about at all} was much more welcome than a fancy reservation.

In an attempt however to make sure he didn’t buy the whole store, not realizing we had things like chili flakes or olive oil, I went with him shopping, and then stayed out of the way.

Can we talk about how adorable this is — he took the cookbook in the store.  When I asked if he wanted to make a list, he seemed genuinely flabbergasted – why write it all down again, when someone else already had?

The menu included grilled figs with proscuitto, spicy linguine with crab and buttermilk panna cotta with raspberries.  He has decided that Italian will be his area of expertise.  He poured through Mario Batali, Andrew Carmellini and a few other cookbooks – with these three recipes coming from those two.

I have no idea why he doesn’t cook more, because everything was really f*ing good!! Here’s hoping that this trend continues, and we see more of his work.  Italian food has a lot to offer.

Thank you for a wonderful evening and Happy Anniversary my love! Here’s to many more!!
